Personal Description

Full of extremes...
A strategic planner by profession, but planning does not exist in my personal life. I love going with the flow.
Sunrise, Sunset, and The sound of the rain are always welcome.
I detest mundane routines and formalities.
Love the first times!
Live by the 2 words 'freedom' and 'expression'

How I Participate in CS

I am living CouchSurfing right now! It is my new way of life. Its great to know that thirsty travelers are not as rare... In every way possible to sustain the couchsurfers world ;)

Interests

Anything that is out in the open draws my attention, Skating, Swimming, Trekking. I love the water, thus the oceans... The only reason i would stay indoors would be to read a book and let my mind wander around ...

I am still exploring my camera, but soon hope to have a site full of moments !

Philosophy

Live it !

Music, Movies, Books

I enjoy discovering different kinds of music from different parts of the world. Apart from the fact that I buy more books than I read, hoping I will have the time to read them all one day.
Movies... the shorter the better. Sometimes, i even watch them in parts.

Types of People I enjoy

All species are welcome. I love human psychology.

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

Its a easy game to get me amazed. I walk pass crazy things everyday, some that last for a lifetime and some that get captured on my camera. Will put them all up someday...

Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org Project

I am glad to have found it !

Shonali! One of the fondest memories I have of Shonali was her first time touching snow ever! Not often does one get to witness somethig like that and it was very nice to see :) Shonali is a very vibrant girl with a huge heart-warming smile. I hope to do some more undercover-statistics with you some day!

Enjoyed bonding with Shonali over margaritas at Burning Man and learning about her perspective. She's a kind person and seems to have been born wise.

Shonali was my dance partner at the collective. She is an all around fun to person to hang out with. She has a serious side and a crazy side and I feel I was able to experience both. She is a curious person that seems eager to learn about different cultures. She also has a great smile and is a fantastic dancer :-)

In about a week she wrecked only one jar at a cafe in my apartment complex. I'm impressed..lol, banana shake without ice, a girl who (from now on) travels with hair curling rods iron, super lively, always giggling, smart but not afraid to be silly. Girl, you rock! So now who's gonna do Bollywood dance to entertain me? awwwww...w.w...

Shonali, cute little bollywood princess, you have shown me the part of India I missed in my travels. Couldn't have the complete India experience without you.
Happy, crazy, caring with the cutest Indian accent ever. I'm so happy to have met you outside India. You rocked my world during the thai colletive.

Shonali is fierce and endearing all at once. She is fearless to the end. If you tell her she can't do something, then she will do it just to prove you wrong. She is fun and kind, and I cannot wait to hang out with her again in Alaska, even if her face does make me want to vomit.

Shonali is sweet and petit, cuet and pretty and pretty damn professional and driven in her job as well. She is this naughty happy grrl which studies to become a true Charlie's angel. I can tell you that she already passed that exam long ago, cause the combination of above is pretty impressive. But don't tell her that yet ;-)

Shonali and I met at the CS Collective in Thailand. I was immediately impressed with her professionalism and attitude toward improving the face of CouchSurfing. She's sharp and overflowing with kindness. Thanks for all the advice on traveling in India. Hopefully, I'll catch up with you there someday.

First time I saw this hindi I thought she was Montse, one of my best friends in Spain. Time showed me she is also nice, friendly, openminded, curious, kind and lovely.
I just could react doing my best photo of her (guys, soon in the photo section) ;-)
